Sam is more than just a taxi driver! - If you are looking for a serious person who knows his island perfectly and shares not only his experience but also does his utmost to make your stay unforgettable this is SAM that you should contact. Tell him about your wishes and he will organize everything for you. If I have to return to Mauritius, I will definitely call on SAM! He is not only a taxi driver, he is a caring person who will not hesitate to help you sometimes far beyond what is expected of a taxi driver and with whom we feel confident. Thank you SAM for taking care to take me spontaneously to the Floréal clinic following the bite of a stray dog returning from the excursion which, despite the morning incident, was very successful

Beautiful days, with dolphins and ile benitiers - Pick up and return at/to hotel was perfect, half hour waiting for staff organised the dispatch between boats, we was 12 on board more 2 staffs. It was ok, but not if more. We enjoy with dolphins, not exclusive because many boats (approx 30 min.? but the most important we feel, all boats take care to keep dolphins free, (without excessive disturbing).
We visited crystal rock and ile aux benitiers, which are a2 nice places, the food was simple but enough.
Thank you for the very good communication with Jerry boss, to the car drivers, and boat staff.
To resume, we past a very nice days.

Booking made and paid, no service from supplier - Bad tour operator, we booked and paid earlier in the week no problem. We woke up at 5 am drove over an hour to get to the meeting point. No one knew where to go or where our booking was.
I eventually found a number to call only to be told nope sorry we did not make your booking.
I am not in Mauritius every day so not easy to come back another day. Another hour back to our hotel.
Little info offered to what went wrong just a sorry and a promise of a refund.
I would not recommend them to waste your time and put a dampener on your holiday.
